I have an A body can i stay ?

8 3/4's did come in some A body cars but they ain't cheap and is usually cost effective to just narrow one. That way you can chose a custom length.

Thanks cranky, the 8 3/4 i shortened was out of a c body and the 360 im not sure but im pretty sure they didn't come in a bodys so i should be ok lol

I thought we were friends. You ruined a C-body for the 8 3/4. I love the C-bodies, I can't speak to you anymore. May we have a moment of silence please. Mind you, I'm just yankin' your chain and just kidding.

I have an A-body 74 Duster, B-body 69 GTX and an E-body 70 Cuda. Most my complaints are from my Chevy friends. Telling me Mopars are all the same? Really? Next to nothing is interchangeable between the three. (I know there are ways, but not just bolt up.) So I hang out at 3 of the five "For X bodies only. Never owned a C-body.

A C body bit the dust. R.I.P.

I have an 8 3/4 in Duster. No evidence that I can see that it was narrowed. And too lazy to try to run down numbers on a rear end. But I can say this. It's a match in heaven for an A-body.

You have officially been shown the door. LOL. Nothing wrong with having an A body or two. Welcome from Southern Indiana.

They are lighter and cheaper for drag racing. I don't want to put my beloved GTX thru that beating. But a 74 Duster? Drive it like it's a Duster! .

Thank you sir. I’m from Orange. Not too far from you. If you ever need anything let me know. One thing I can see right away is that you might need an 8 3/4 narrowed. I have the ability to do that.
